The website that I chose to review that uses Wordpress is the CBS New York website. Looking at this site initially I couldn't tell that it was a website that used Wordpress. I feel like I should be able to spot when a website uses Wordpress, but apparently Wordpress can really look like anything if the designer wants it to.
This website looks like many other websites that I have seen before. With that being said, this website is not very pleasing to the eye and it has the feel of an older website from the year 2000 or something. There are no drop down menus, the website just has a basic horizontal menu bar located at the top of the page. I know that this is a news website, so there has to be a bunch of stories on the main page, but all of the stories are very scattered throughout the home page and have no structure to them. It looks like they just threw text about in random places on the page and isn't very pleasing to the eye. If someone would come to this site for the first time it might be a little discouraging to try and find a certain story, but thankfully they added a search bar at the top right of the home page.
The navigation of the site isn't too bad, it operates like you'd expect a site to navigate, so no problems there. My main problem is the look of the site. I think that if this site was constructed with something like Drupal, it could be further customized into a site that looks more professional and organized.
